THE AMATEURS CODE

First published in the ARRL Handbook, and reprinted many times since
We can do well to bear it in mind at all times.

The Amateur is Considerate
And never knowingly uses the air in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.

The Amateur is Loyal
And offers loyalty, encouragement and support to fellow radio amateurs,
local radio club and to the Wireless Institute of Australia (Western Australian Division,)
through which Amateur Radio is represented.

The Amateur is Progressive
Keeping the station abreast of science.
It is well-built and efficient, and ALL operating practice is above reproach.

The Amateur is Friendly
Slow and patient sending when requested,
friendly advice and counsel to the beginner,
kindly assistance, co-operation and consideration for the interests of others;
these are marks of the amateur spirit.

The Amateur is Balanced
Radio is a hobby, never allowing it to interfere with any
of the duties one owes to home, job, school, or community.

The Amateur is Patriotic
The aquired knowledge and station equipment are
always ready for the service of country and community.
